A new aliphatic alcohol, (2R,6R)-oct-7-ene-2,6-diol (1), and seven other known compounds (2-8) were isolated from Acorus gramineus rhizomes. The structure of 1 was elucidated by a combination of extensive spectroscopic analyses, including 2D NMR, HR-MS, and the modified Mosher's method. Compounds 3-8 displayed consistent antiproliferative activities against the cell lines tested with IC50 values ranging from 7 to 48 μm.
